AI Video Agents
What are AI Video Agents?
AI Video Agents are the three parts of cofenster that each take over one video job. Milo turns long recordings into short clips, Ella guides employees through recording themselves, and Theo turns text into video. All three apply your Brand Templates automatically.
What does Milo do?
Milo turns long recordings such as town halls, webinars, interviews and podcasts into short, on-brand clips. It finds the strongest moments, crops them for each format and adds animated subtitles, ready for LinkedIn, YouTube Shorts, Teams and the intranet.
What does Ella do?
Ella helps employees record themselves on phone or laptop. It creates the storyboard, sends recording requests by email or link, and guides each person with tips and direct feedback. The result is polished testimonials, team intros and leadership messages without a film crew.
What does Theo do?
Theo turns written content such as a policy, a brief or a blog post into a finished video. It generates the script, visuals, music and AI voiceover, lets you review the storyboard, and applies your fonts, colours and logo. Theo supports more than 30 languages with subtitles and voice.
Does cofenster use AI avatars?
No. cofenster centres on real people and existing recordings. Ella records real employees and Milo works with your own recordings. Theo creates videos from text with visuals and an AI voiceover, for messages where nobody needs to be on camera.
What are Brand Templates?
Brand Templates apply your brand guidelines to every video. During onboarding, cofenster sets up your logo, fonts, colours and intro and outro patterns, so every video from Milo, Ella and Theo is on-brand automatically. Brand Templates is included in every enterprise plan.
